wonder if this might be changing now

Smaller homes are attractive to saving energy as are smaller, lighter vehicles.

That’s pretty much the situation at a house at the other end of our street that got sold recently. The new owner has a huge Yank ute that’s too big to fit into the garage so he has to park it outside, under the shade sail that extends out from the patio.
He’s also got a huge boat on a huge trailer, and to get that parked in front of the shed (it’s too big to fit into the shed) a little further down the hill he had to use the huge ute to push it up the grassy hill. And yeah, it left huge furrows in the soil doing so. He’s dug up all that now and has a gravel driveway for the boat.

Huge.
